The Final ES1015 (ES6) Draft

Am I the only one noticing the oxymoron there?



No. "Final Draft" is a very standard term in books/scripts/standards/legal docuemnts/etc (actually there's even a scriptwriting app bearing that name).

It's the final draft as in "the last in the series of draft revisions", meaning than after that the actual standard document is going to be voted / published -- at worse with very minor last minute corrections.


And not long after this went up, the ECMA approved ES2015.


And there was much rejoicing...


I believe thats exactly what it is - the latest revision of the document that will go on to be voted on and accepted.

>This draft has been submitted to the Ecma General Assembly members for their review and consideration. The GA will vote on approving it as a Ecma standard at their June 2015 meeting.

>Assuming GA approval, it will still be possible to make very minor editorial corrections in the published version.


I get documents from designers with names like "FINAL homepage v23 latest updated FINAL_2 (3).psd" all the time...


Expect the Final Final pre-Release post-Draft. ES6 will never get released.
